Albert the Bull holds the title as the world’s largest bull statue and is Audubon, Iowa's, tribute to its cattle-industry heritage. The 30-foot-tall, 45-ton concrete statue of a Hereford has a horn span of 15 feet and is lighted at night, welcoming travelers passing by.The internal steel frame is made from dismantled Iowa windmills.

In 1968-69, a few highly innovative U.S. breeders selecting for extreme lean growth found new bloodlines within the British breeds. Western Canada was the source of this new genetic material. The significantly larger Hereford bull, "Predominant 25U," [calved in 1964] became a key sire helping to change the breed to offer much larger cattle, for example, consider the frame score 10 of 25U's descendant, "Ace Broker" in 1988. www.msu.edu/...
